AI coding editor whose built-in agent breaks down a request, writes the code and previews the result, plus a TraeWork workspace.

## Overview

TRAE, from ByteDance, has two products. TraeCode is a coding editor whose built-in agent breaks down a request, writes the code and previews the result. TraeWork is a newer web, desktop and phone workspace that also handles everyday office tasks.

TraeCode runs on the user’s machine, and plans also list concurrent cloud tasks. Models include the TRAE Auto picker, third-party models, or the user’s own API key, and users can add MCP servers and custom agents.

Plans run from free to $100 a month and are billed by token usage.
